As the title states an absolute masterclass or masterpiece of an episode, easily one of the best storytelling episodes I've seen in anime. So visually beautiful and both so incredibly sad. When I went into this episode it genuinely caught me off guard by this woman's backstory, honestly if anything I was thinking about maybe dropping this anime but this episode really turned everything around for me. Not to mention the beautiful animation and atmosphere that add to the episode the animators and team did a phenomenal job seriously this one really hit my heartstrings deep. The best episode in the entire series imo so far.

Now realistically I wanna say this was a 7.5/10. It was fun and enjoyable, funny at times and made you care about the characters, the fights were surprisingly pretty entertaining and well made too. The problems I have are only a few small details like how some small side characters are wrote off, the acting with some characters is a lot better then others, and I didn't like how they showed so much of garp so early in the story. But nonetheless it didn't ruin the show for me and was still pretty enjoyable and entertaining throughout the whole season. I recommend watching this if you're a one piece fan, there's lots of Easter eggs and the camerawork is beautiful too. Overall worth a watch.
